NESSIE PICTURES OLD AND NEW

Here is the place holder for the various Nessie photographs and films that have been discussed on this blog plus the newer ones. Of course, we do not claim that all these are true images of Nessie, but some are (in our opinion). The list will grow as our attention turns to each of these images in turn. Click on the links to view the relevant past blogs.

enjoy this site during this (hopefully temporary) period of unemploymentI recall the Lowrie photograph which seems little discussed these days, if memory serves the same events were observed from land by one Torquil McLeod ie there was corroboration

inflatable humps? Nessie eats the bottom muck like a worm?and then processes it into the humps as methane for warmth?comes to the surface to flop about and fart it out when its too full? are you mad????Nessie is a cold water pleasaur and that's that.

Hi Roland, I know you have dismissed the Shiels photo as a fake, but I wondered if you've ever seen the nearly identical one in a book called "Modern Mysteries of Britain"? It looks like the same object but seems to be stretched more straight and facing the other way. If you haven't seen it I can scan it and the accompanying text for you.

Some really good stuff on this blog. I'd be interested in people's views on the Academy of Applied Science work done under Dr Rhines in the 70s. For a long time the images from those projects seemed the closest we'd ever get to conclusive proof of the existence of large animals in the loch, though of course time has subsequently exposed some significant flaws in the setup and therefore undermined the results.

What do we think of Rhines? He always struck me as a well-intentioned guy but someone who arrived at Loch Ness with his narrative already decided - he then looked for imagery to fit that narrative.

Yes, there are issues with the Rines photos. I was always dubious of the "head" picture because it was nothing like that described by eyewitnesses. Subsequent diving proved the witness record was the benchmark.

The unenhanced "flipper" picture shows something, but the opacity of the waters makes that picture and underwater photography in general difficult to analyse.

What's your take on the Rival III sonar image? (Not a pic, but close!) I didn't see anything on the site by using the Google search. I find it weird that this sonar image isn't well known and hard to find on the net. I personally think it's one of the most compelling bits of evidence for Nessie.
